Everything needs a leader.
Normally, soldiers obey orders from officers and generals, but Tokino dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
It does not mean that they are really convinced.
Now Gao Quan spoke impassionedly, which ignited the anger of all the soldiers.
When they think about it carefully, they really feel that they are living a useless life.
Since we are all human beings, why should we be bullied and insulted by others?
Gao Quan raised his arms and called out, and the other soldiers responded one after another.
There was a moment of excitement.
Mutiny among soldiers has always been a taboo in the military.
Especially for rebels like King Gui, who had just started an uprising and had unstable momentum.
People follow the crowd.
Once someone gathers to make trouble, more people will definitely join in.
Anyway, the law does not punish the masses.
Even if the mutiny is really suppressed, it is impossible for the officers to deal with all the mutinous soldiers.
With this mentality, more and more soldiers joined the ranks of the troublemakers, and the momentum became more and more serious, even alarming King Gui.
King Gui Zhu Youlang was drinking tea in his palace in Guangzhou City at the moment.
When he heard the news of the army's mutiny, he spit out a mouthful of tea.
He couldn't understand why this army, so good, could mutiny.
He hurriedly called Ding Kuichu and Qu Shichen to discuss countermeasures together.
Ding Kuichu was also surprised when he heard the news.
He thought for a moment and said: "Your Highness, the top priority now is to stabilize the morale of the army and not to let the situation worsen."
Of course he understood this, but the question was how to do it.
Ding Kuichu talked for a long time without explaining the reason, which was really disappointing.
"How to stabilize military morale" Zhu Youlang asked straight to the point.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, I will not hesitate to reward you."
Ding Kuichu's method is very direct, that is, to win over with benefits.
It doesn't matter what the other person's purpose is, as long as you can do things for him.
The loyalty of subordinates cultivated in this way can be imagined.
They are mothers if they have milk, and the reason why they work for Ding Kuichu is because the treatment provided by Ding Kuichu is not bad.
If someone offers a more generous treatment than Ding Kuichu, there is no doubt that he will change his banner immediately.
Zhu Youlang was not very satisfied with this answer, so he naturally turned to Qu Shichen.
This is his closest confidant.
Who else can he turn to if he doesn’t ask for advice?
"What do you think Mr.
Qu?"
Qu Shichun was called by Zhu Youlang, so he raised his hands and bowed respectfully and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, in my humble opinion, it is better to suppress the mutiny immediately and execute all the troublemakers, so that the mutiny will stop immediately."
"oh" Zhu Youlang was a little interested.
Ding Kuichu and Qu Shichun, one of them is strong and the other is soft, they have two completely different strategies.
Zhu Youlang himself is inclined to Qu Shichu.
Firstly, it was because Zhu Youlang was mean and ungrateful by nature, and believed that it was only natural for his subordinates to serve him.
Mutiny must not be allowed and must be severely punished.
Secondly, he didn't think that rewarding the rebellious soldiers would be very effective.
You can appease them for a while, but can you make them willing to work for you all the time?
This time you rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver.
Next time they ask for one hundred taels, will you give it back?

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, and there is no end to greed.
It would be better to simply kill people and establish prestige.
But he had to give Ding Kuichu face.
After all, he is now in Ding Kuichu's home base, and Ding Kuichu has the majority of his army.
"Ahem, whether it's rewarding and appeasing, or whether it's killing someone to establish authority, it's just a means after all."
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned.
Although this incident seems to be accidental, it is actually an outbreak after a long period of accumulation.
I think we should solve it from the root."
Ding Kuichu sighed secretly in his heart.
The prince talked like this in a foggy manner, but he didn't say anything about it.
"What should we do in the light of the prince's opinion?"
"Give them a promise."
Zhu Youlang said loudly: "The soldiers mutinied simply because they felt that there was no hope.
I will give them hope."
"How does the prince give them hope?"
"It's simple.
I promise that after I obtain the great treasure of ascending to the world in the future, I will upgrade everyone to three levels in a row."
Zhu Youlang said very proudly.
Ding Kuichu almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
He thought it was some clever plan, but it turned out to be a bad idea.
Upgrading three levels in a row sounds beautiful, but in fact it is just a pie in the sky.
How many people have rebelled in history, and how many have succeeded in the end?
The King of Gui has just raised his troops and has not even written out his horoscope.
To make such a promise is not to draw a cake.
It would be fine if it was for people like him or Qu Shichun.
But King Gui planned to make cakes for ordinary soldiers.
These soldiers mutinied because they lamented the unfair treatment.
If you don't try to appease them, it would be useless to paint a big pie.
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong."
Ding Kuichu said mercilessly: "The prince's promise is good, but it can only be fulfilled after we conquer the world.
The soldiers are concerned about the immediate things.
If they cannot be satisfied, I am afraid there will be no future."
What he said was unpleasant but very reasonable.
Even Qu Shishu said: "Your Highness, it is really not appropriate to just give a promise."
Both ministers held objections, and Zhu Youlang was worried.
He cleared his throat and said: "That's what I said.
Since you two think it's inappropriate, then forget it."
"Then what kind of advice will the prince decide to adopt?
Reward or suppression?"
Ding Kuichu asked immediately.
Zhu Youlang only felt a headache.
This problem was thrown in front of him again.
"Let me, the king, think about it."
He tapped his fingers and thought.
He neither wanted to offend Ding Kuichu nor disheartened Qu Shichu, who firmly supported him.

This decision was really difficult to make.
After a long time, Zhu Youlang said slowly: "How about this?
We will only punish the culprits, not the accomplices, and reward each person with five taels of silver to appease them."
Ding Kuichu and Qu Shishu were both stunned after hearing this.
Isn't this just a combination of their suggestions?
His Highness Prince Gui is really good at making friends.
"Your Highness is wise, this plan should be the best way now."
After all, Qu Shishu still wanted to maintain Zhu Youlang's authority.
He was the first to praise: "This plan will inevitably divide the mutinous soldiers and cause internal strife."
Seeing this, Ding Kuichu knew that it was not appropriate to argue anymore, so he nodded and said, "Your Highness, this is a brilliant plan."
When Zhu Youlang saw that both Ding Kuichu and Qu Shichu agreed, he was overjoyed and said: "If that's the case, then let's do it.
The confrontation between the two armies is particularly critical.
Anyone who takes the lead in causing trouble and disrupting the morale of our army will be killed."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, swallowed and said, "I wonder how Zheng Zhilong is doing over there."
Originally, they had discussed sending troops at the same time, but there must be a sequence of events when it comes to fighting.
If Zheng Zhilong's side can put pressure on the imperial army from the eastern battlefield, the pressure on the coalition forces in the west can also be reduced a lot
